I was able to install the new board. I no longer get a keyboard error/not found message. It boots to the hard drive and stops after loading the SDD. When I press CTL-ALT-DEL to reboot, it shows a trap message. At the top it shows that it is a UART problem or error in it. Just when I solve one problem, I run into another.

Would using the AGP video card that I had before make a difference? I am using the on board video and onboard audio. I will try to use the AGP video card to see if it makes a difference.

I tried both; one at a time. Now I am back online. I still have to install programs and drivers (audio drivers and get more colors and higher densities). I am a happy camper. Thanks for the help. It is appreciated.

I thought I would mention my experience with the EPIA-M miniITX mobo. I had the same error while installing eCS 1.1 last year. SIO isn't the problem as I had discovered. In hind sight, perhaps I might have been wrong. However, I discovered by going with VGA as the default video, and then downloading the Scitech video driver, all was well. I was never able to get sound working. Please let me know if you do. Also, for the Scitech driver, I used VBE mode as the S3 chipset was not on the list of supported list. VBE mode allows for multiple resolutions and is decent for what I do. The miniITX isn't a gaming platform, as selecting WXP Windows XP), and running UT2003 (Unreal Tournement 2003) is a miserable experience of dropped frame rates. Best of luck and keep us posted.
